What customers say?

“ Fabulous restaurant to celebrate our anniversary. We had the 15000 yen Omakase and it was incredible! The courses were very unique and delicious. We enjoyed every course so much (see pictures). The owner and his wife generously toasted us with very nice sherry and an amazing desert! ”

- Cheryl Woo -

“ We were so incredibly lucky to have our last meal in Kyoto in this beautiful, intimate restaurant. Start to finish, the experience was a joy. From the warm greeting we received to the delightful kind service and the engagement of the Master Chef who created both dinner and a show, the evening was perfect. Course after course was presented beautifully and bite after bite was delicious. While this definitely felt like a special occasion meal in a special occasion restaurant, we were perfectly comfortable in our travel clothes we had worn all day long. I wish we had discovered this gem earlier because I would have loved to try it for lunch as well. Five stars all around, thank you, Chef! ”

- Suzanne Vuong -

“ Chef and the staff are the best! We had an amazing Kaiseki dinner service here. The evening ranged from braised, succulent pork to fresh, invigorating sashimi courses. At the end of the meal - Chef even prepared our leftovers into Onigiri to take home with us. If you are looking for a relaxed but intimate dinner experience, please come here! ”

- Ian Harris Boyd -

“ This was our best meal in Kyoto during the trip. An unforgettable omakase experience from start to finish, it was amazing! Super friendly chef and service staff. We will definitely visit again with our families. Date of visit: 31 August 2025 ”

- Lina Jiang -

“ A truly rare dining experience in Kyoto. The dinner was served “kaiseki” style (in courses) and each one was carefully crafted with seasonal ingredients in a way that was both fun and delicious. Menus change on a monthly basis! The chef was so charismatic and made everyone feel at home right away - you are made to feel special at this restaurant. Cheers to the chef, staff, and to Kyoto! Be sure to make a reservation and have a special time! ”

- Maria Lewczyk-Boyd -

“ I had one of the best dining experiences of my life at Kyokabutoya Ikeda! The food, atmosphere, and staff truly deserve five stars. You can really taste the effort and thought the chef puts into crafting his dishes. At many set-course meals, you leave wanting a bit more food, but here the portions are sized so you finish each course feeling satisfied and ready for the next. Even with a language barrier, we had a fun conversation using Google Translate. This is a place for Kyo Kaiseki that I will be visiting every time I’m in Kyoto! ”

- Sean -

“ This was the highlight of our visit to Kyoto. From start to finish the entire experience from the atmosphere, decor, food and friendly service was absolutely incredible. Every dish was immaculately presented with so many unique dishes and flavours. The price was extremely reasonable compared with other kaiseki restaurants in Kyoto. Highly recommended!!!!! ”
